10:8. For the Lord is just, and hath loved justice: his countenance hath beheld righteousness. Psalms Chapter 11 Salvum me fac. The prophet calls for God's help against the wicked. 11:1. Unto the end: for the octave, a psalm for David. 11:2. Save me, O Lord, for there is now no saint: truths are decayed from among the children of men. 11:3. They have spoken vain things, every one to his neighbour: with deceitful lips, and with a double heart have they spoken. 11:4. May the Lord destroy all deceitful lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things. 11:5. Who have said: We will magnify our tongue: our lips are our own: who is Lord over us? 11:6. By reason of the misery of the needy, and the groans of the poor, now will I arise, saith the Lord. I will set him in safety: I will deal confidently in his regard. 11:7. The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried by the fire, purged from the earth, refined seven times. 11:8. Thou, O Lord, wilt preserve us: and keep us from this generation for ever. 11:9. The wicked walk round about: according to thy highness, thou hast multiplied the children of men. Psalms Chapter 12 Usquequo, Domine. A prayer in tribulation. 12:1. Unto the end, a psalm for David. How long, O Lord, wilt thou forget me unto the end? how long dost thou turn away thy face from me? 12:2. How long shall I take counsels in my soul, sorrow in my heart all the day? 12:3. How long shall my enemy be exalted over Me? 12:4. Consider, and hear me, O Lord, my God. Enlighten my eyes, that I never sleep in death: 12:5. Lest at any time my enemy say: I have prevailed against him. They that trouble me, will rejoice when I am moved: 12:6. But I have trusted in thy mercy. My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation: I will sing to the Lord, who giveth me good things: yea, I will sing to the name of the Lord, the most high. Psalms Chapter 13 Dixit insipiens. 1. The general corruption of man before our redemption by Christ. 13:1. Unto the end, a psalm for David. The fool hath said in his heart: There is no God. They are corrupt, and are become abominable in their ways: there is none that doth good, no not one. 13:2. The Lord hath looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there be any that understand and seek God. 13:3. They are all gone aside, they are become unprofitable together: there is none that doth good: no not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they acted deceitfully: the poison of asps is under their lips. Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; their feet are swift to shed blood. Destruction and unhappiness in their ways; and the way of peace they have not known: there is no fear of God before their eyes. 13:4. Shall not all they know that work iniquity, who devour my people as they eat bread? 13:5. They have not called upon the Lord: there have they trembled for fear, where there was no fear.
